Mind if we set up another time to do one? I wasn't able to join yesterday due to family stuff.

[BotHunter]

Haha!! No one was able to join! we couldn't get a good server up!

BTW. I was using the normal "Host internet" in game. what is the deference between that and dedicated?

EDIT: I portfowarded the correct ports. I could see the game on the internet with a different PC but when Vilespring tried joining it "Failed to connect to server"

we also had terrible planning. I was enjoying my tetrarch on world of tanks too much... Came half an hour late.
I think we need more vehicular weapons in our mod. I'm thinking the allies should use rail-guns. Also big blue lasers. (don't make a reference... ) Also, I think we could use some commando equipment. I was thinking like weapons like there could be used;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Aircraft_Hamilcar
This would be a stealth glider. These vehicles would have to be made to lack neutral mini-map icons so it could be dumped without having a player notice it. Bots wouldn't care, even if their lives depend on it. (which it does )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrarch_tank
This would be a good vehicle to put in the glider. This combination is actually historically accurate. Once again, it needs no neutral mini-map icon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M22_Locust
This would be the same as the tetrarch tank, but once again, no mini-map icon while neutral. This is also historically accurate to be carried in the gliders. This vehicle was superior to the tetrarch, and was built for air-born operations. The tetrarch's air-born ability was discovered when the British needed an air-born tank.

Now, These models would help the mod a lot. I think there needs to be multiple variants to the vehicles, or any. We could use the random weapon code, and the tanks can either have;
normal light gun - anti-personnel, anti-light vehicle
canister shell - giant shotgun, anti-personnel
Howitzer - support weapon, anti-personnel, anti-stationary weapon, anti-light vehicle
rail-gun - anti-everything-if-you-can-hit-it
Laser - steady damage to what it hits. (lots of projectiles with little damage)

I can probably get into a test with you guys. it is 5:15 here, eastern time zone when I posted this.

Also, this would probably work better if we used evolve. evolve is software made so that people can play games together. That would make this a lot easier, If you make an evolve account, friend me. My username is Vilespring. (it is for a lot )

[BotHunter]

Sorry dood! I don't play on sundays

[Swaffy]

I'm not sure about Evolve. I was just thinking about hopping onto a TeamSpeak server (which I can give the info to) so we can voice chat. And from the voice chat we can figure out things. It also has a text chat box in case someone doesn't have a mic.

[BotHunter]

Well the problem was that we couldn't join each others servers. BTW What is the main difference between dedicated and ingame hosting?

[Vilespring]

Evolve is made so that we could connect to each others' servers. it gives the people in the "party" nearly identical IP address with one or two different numbers. With the team speak, what is wrong with Skype?

we really need a way to get together in real-time, because this is not working very well for this kinda thing.

Take a look at supreme commander forged alliance units! you'll find anything you could possibly want!
